Automatically update when source dictionaries are updated about jmdict-simplified

[fasiha]

Very cool!, I didn’t know about Github Actions!

I’d be very happy with an update once a month (since minutes reset every month).

I am not sure if JMdict updates more often or less often than JMnedict—the latter takes much longer to run. Also maybe you could run JMdict more often than JMnedict.

It looks like the cost is 8$/1000 minutes per month if you exceed the free 2000 minutes threshold—assuming the boxes Github gives you can finish a full build in an hour every month, I’m happy to cover the cost for a year.

Thanks for your input, @fasiha

With just one update per month 2000 minutes is way more than enough. The full build (all dictionaries, all versions) is less than 10 minutes. Checking if something was updated will take less than 2 minutes.

I'll go with once a month updates.

Also maybe you could run JMdict more often than JMnedict.

I was thinking of splitting this repo into 2 separate ones eventually, but right now it will be fine to rebuild everything, just for the convenience of usage.

I updated the workflow. Manual testing works fine. It will run on the 1st and 15th every month. Once it will update at least once, I'll close this issue.

@scriptin hope you've been well! Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot what happened to the automated releases? The last release was on October 2020 and I'm guessing the release config needs some editing but I'm not sure where to find logs to find what's causing the build to fail.
